Opening up on the same, she said, 'The Karwa Chauth scene was a nine-minute long scene, and while doing the scene, people on the set loved it. They were clapping and felt it was done so well. But the trailer came out, and I was trolled so much for that one particular dialogue from the same scene."



"So I thought, I did the 9-minute-long scene and everyone on the set liked it, but people now are trolling me for the same. So am I living in a bubble? Are people not going to like this scene? Because you know what you've shot, but people don't know. People just know those 10 seconds,' she further added.

The Mission Majnu actress mentioned, 'So, I don't want to ever be in my life where I'm living in a bubble. I need to be on the ground. I need to talk to people. I need to know what's really going on.'
